DIR. William james of Harvard Uni
versity. has made some experiments to
test the modern theory that the SEMI
circular canals, instead of being con-
nected with the sense OF hearing, serve
to convey the feeling CT movement of
the head through space. which, when
intensified, becomes dizziness. 1t
occurred to him that deaf mutes,
having their auricular organs injured,
might afford some confederation the
theory, if it were true, by showing a
smaller susceptibility to dizziness than
persons with normal hearing. OF 5l9
deaf mutes examined by subjecting
them to rapid whirllng, 1S9 were wholly
insusceptible of being made dizzy, l34
were made dizzy in a very slight degree
and l9J were normally, and IN a few
Gases abnormally, sensitive. Nearly
200 students and Instructors in HaTv ard
College supposed to nave normal hear
ing, were examined for purposes of
comparison, and but a single one
proved exempt from vertigo.

FARM NOTES.

CAREFUL TRANsPLANTrSa.--
orcharding, careful planting and proper
nreparatIon Of the soil are to be relied
on IS leading TO ultimate success; thor
ough work in these are necessary to H.
sure abundant returns and rewards-
This. probably. was not SO essential IN
the early practice OF pomology in this
country. Then we had climate much
more moist and the elements, of plant
food and fruiting abundant almost to
excess. Nurseries were few and liml-
ted in extent; seedlings were the main
reliance, and the planter had only to
use his mattock in digging and prepsr-
ing shallow places for the trees. His
Young trees were taken from one place
and Immediately planted In another, or
they grew up accidentally anywhere
and received such shallow cultivation
as was then practiced, not only for
trees. but for the cereal and other crops.
The trees raised in this way were both
healthy and vigorous, and many at
tanned great size and great age They
were generally set near buildings, where
they also had the advantage Of tHe
extra food that abounds about farm
houses. Thus we see the change of
climate, and other circumstances at
tending the opening OF the country
and gradual exhaustion CT the virgin
soil, force as to manure and prepare
the soil in the best manner, so as to
secure humus and moisture and give
our trees the food nature intended for
them.

MUST BE PUT DowN.-Ju ust after
the recent election a gentleman was
waited on by worthy deacon who lives
less than hundred miles from Tusket,
n. 5. He wanted to see about putting
down bribery and corruption. and he
said: "My dear sir, we must arise in
our wrath; we must stand shoulder to
shoulder and foot to foot; we must
choke this hydra-headed monster, or 1t
will choke us, ETC." His friend didn't
think there was any bribery; could not
believe it possible; thought the deacon
must be mistaken. But the deacon
said: ''Sir, / know it; 1 know it.
L offered one internal scoundrel s. to
vote for our man, and the mean, de-
graded vagabond held up both hands
and said he wanted $40. and could get
it. too. from the other side. 1 tell you.

NEW comers to this country are apt
to bring their old home prejudices with
them and to think they have nothing
to learn, but, on the contrary, can
teach the natives something. Such an
idea occurred to Scotch farmer last
year, who. against advice and warning,
persisted in planting his crop of pota-
toes in high ridges. This is q good
plan In Scotland, where the fields are
often under water for days successive
ly, and helps to keep the crop out of
the wet. But in our dry climate these
raised ridges dry right through; a
shower runs down the dry slopes with
out moistening them, and the potatoes
never get past their early stage or larger
than hickory nuts Flat cultivation
and deep planting are necessary here,
and old American farmers may do well
to consider this fact, which applies
equally TO corn. as well as new comers
who are not TO our manner born.

FARM MANAGEMENT.-N fixed
rules can be laid down for the manags-
ment for farms. The soil of one town
ship may be best fitted for growing
some kinds of grain. while the adjoln-
ing ones can be most prottably devoted
to live stock. No two farms situated
side by side are exactly alike. Tho dis
tance from market, the demand for
special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining the
system of farm management that it is
best to adopt. Those who have given
the most thought to this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system
to be applied TO every farm. 1t is like
a garment that IS intended TO fit all per-
sons and suit none. Every year of pro-
gress made in agricultural knowledge
teaches more forcibly than previous
ones the truth that a farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Even in so
seemingly trifing a matter as the
pruning of a grape vine, the wisest
vineyardist can only give general rules,
aud each grape grower must adapt
them to the peculiarities of each vine.

THE oat crop is too generally treated
as of little consequence and often sown
late on land not regarded as fit for any,
thing else. So long as this practice
prevails the average yield and profit is
likely to be very small. The fact that
IN many places oats are mainly fed to
stock leads to this neglect. Tney are
not the crop on which the farmer relies
TO raise money to pay hired help or to
clear of mortgages. But those who
give oats good treatment find that the
crop Is as responsive to good culture
and manure as any other.
